I did some volunteer work for a couple weeks helping recruit "lock up" volunteers. If you don't know what a lock up is, basically you show up to "jail" and have raise "bail" to get out. I forgot to ask em how much they raised, but I'm hoping it was a good chunk of change since it's used to send kids with MD to summer camp for a week. The stories I heard from some of those parents about how much those kids looked forward to camp all year sure lit a fire under my *** to get people signed up.I hope this isn't another year of "donor fatigue" for Jerry's telethon.

NSFW would've helped Jeepster. You must be part of a conspiracy to get me fired. Hell, there must be some evidence somewhere...

#3 made me laugh, nh -- I still think there must be a conspiracy though -- if I find any evidence, I'll be sure to post it after I get the green light from Wingmaster05

Alright ball buster. I laughed out loud at your post. But only because I love to bust his nitwit conspiracy theories. So sad that he doesn't have the intellect to argue his own points, that he just posts anything he can find that says "conspiracy". Every time I see that he posts, I get all giddy, and hilarity ensues. They just closed down the PT's near my house, now I have to go all the way across town. Eff me.
